Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”

Me: “My account is 23 years old”

Valve: “That just proves your account is old”

Me: “A credit card just proves you know someone with a credit card”

@SecurityWriter For some time Valve made me jump through hoops because I had a „strange email address“.

The support told me to use something like gmail. My email address is older than Valve and Google..

I have a strange email, too. Only two persons have an account on that server. Luckily that was never an issue for Valve. Only Tonline required me to send an email and ask for an manual unblock of my servers IP to be able to send mails to them.

One of my email aliases is literally just a domain I own, and it gets rejected regularly. What, we aren't allowed to have custom domains now? They going to start enforcing that on companies as well? "Sorry, your techdept(@)google(dot)com email is suspicious, maybe try gmail?" Lol
